Reptile Lyrics

Reptile lyrics

Hold my heart in your cold clenched fist and squeeze until you bleed me dry 



Take what you will of my life force and leave the pain behind 

You would take it all from me and only leave my suffering 

What not take my hope, you demon, you are welcome to that now 

You my idol 

You my teacher 

You my laughter 

You my crying 

You my daybreak 

You my sunset 

You my living 

You my dying 

Twist the threads much tighter and to you my last breath will belong 

You will know my broken form will honour you forevermore 

I would give my life to you, my dreams, my talents are forgotten 

What a trophy to inscribe beside the ones who've gone before 

Lace your kiss with cyanide and plant it when I contradict you 

Razor-sharp are fingernails that trace a line to yielding pulse 

Shower me with useless gifts, I'll drown in insincerity 

Lover, take your love away and use it on yourself
